High Fives and Low Kings for Drinan

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Oliver Speidel, who you may recall as the 2012 Aussie Millions champ, raised from late position only to have Connor Drinan, the man who lost aces to aces this past summer in the $1,000,000 Big One for One Drop, three-bet all in for 5,300. Speidel called and the cards were turned up.

Drinan: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Speidel: {q-Spades}{7-Spades}

Drinan got it in good, and he'd survive the flip as the board ran out {6-Clubs}{j-Spades}{k-Hearts}{a-Spades}{a-Hearts}.

Unfortunately for Drinan, that double did him little good. A short time later he got his stack all in preflop holding the {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} and was ahead of the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} of his opponent; however, the board ran out {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and trips sent Drinan out the door.
